I didn't have much luck with street tires once I put 4.10's my car. However, I'd try lowering them to 20 and see how it acts. My best advice is not to do a burnout on street tires because it will only make matters worse. On street tires, I found I had to sort of bog the car out of the hole in order to get it to hook with a M6.

I had a buddy that could get almost any street tire to hook on his car, the way he did was put the car in 2nd and pop the clutch, and boil the fk outta em. They were hot, and he would come outta the hole dumping it at 3500 spinning about 10 ft and throwing it in 2nd and it worked very well for him......He's a gear bangin sob......GL, personally I would just put a nitto on it...not to agressive, but have been proven to work...

If you have a rearend I'd try a Nitto but if you're still on the stock 10 bolt I'd stay away from drag radials. A lot of people have had luck on the stock rearend but I believe those are automatic cars.

We all know the stock 10 bolt is weak but I have stuck this rule and it has worked 90% of the time. If you are racing on the street use a slick or a drag radial, the street is not sticky enough to put enough pressure to break the 10 bolt. On the track use drag radials only since they will be your fusible link to give way instead of hooking hard and breaking your rear. Now if the street is prepped then track rules apply.
